    What a lovely experience! The restaurant served delicious meals, and I enjoyed the caramelised lemon tart immensely. The cozy vibe with the log fire was a delightful touch. I’ll definitely return!

    cozy atmosphere
    delicious breakfast

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I loved the cozy atmosphere in my Deluxe King Room, which was perfect for snuggling up after a day of exploring. The breakfast was a total game changer—freshly cooked to order with mouthwatering options, especially the full English! Plus, the garden area was an enchanting spot to unwind with a drink, surrounded by lovely trees and ambiance.

    totally recommend 🌟❤️

    comfortable bed
    delicious breakfast

    The room was beautifully remodeled with a cozy corner for reading, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I absolutely loved the delicious breakfast, especially the beef brisket. The staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home during my stay.

    No significant issues during my stay.

    comfy room
    great breakfast
    slow service
    limited menu

    we had a great time at the black boy hotel. the staff were super friendly and felt like fam. loved the comfy king room and the atmosphere was just right for chillin out. breakfast was delish, proper full english, and the location was perfect for exploring oxford. really enjoyed staying in a proper english pub, it made our stay special.

    only issues were that the vegetarian options could be better and the drinks service was a bit slow. they should really up their game in the dining area.

    A Memorable Stay with Exceptional Service

    We spent one wonderful night enjoying a king room. The staff stood out with their warmth and attentiveness. Dinner from the set menu offered delicious choices that exceeded our expectations. Be mindful of parking. you might need to navigate a bit, but alternative spots are available nearby.

    overwhelmed staff

    Great stay, awesome breakfast!

    We spent two nights in a King Room and really liked it. The room felt more like a hotel than a B&B, which was cool. Super quiet, no noise from the bar. Breakfast was huge and tasty! Just be ready to cycle a bit to get into the busy center of Oxford. Only thing was the staff seemed overwhelmed at times.

    cozy king room
    charming atmosphere

    Had a cozy King Room for one night, with a super comfy bed and a massive bathroom. The pub garden was a hidden gem, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Really enjoyed the delicious food while soaking in the charming atmosphere. Plus, got to explore the cool Malmaison Hotel nearby!

    personalized service
    crowded bus

    great stay but some minor issues

    The off-street parking was convenient for us. The breakfast featured outstanding fresh ingredients, particularly the eggs. Our host, Sarah, went above and beyond to make my birthday special.

    The bus route to the city can feel crowded during peak times.

    cozy room
    tasty breakfast
    excellent location
    limited play area

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cozy King Room. The location near Headington was perfect for our family outings, with easy access to bus routes into Oxford. Plus, the breakfast had so many tasty options that kept everyone happy, including mum.

    My kids wished for a larger play area outside for some fun activities.

    friendly staff

    Target audience good for families

    Let me tell you, the friendly staff were really on top of things. I remember arriving kinda early and they offered us coffee on the house while we waited for our room to be ready. And the breakfasts? Fantastic, fresh, just what you need to start the day right.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but considering the service, it was still acceptable.
